That's very pretty, Dale. Man, part of me wishes so bad that I could live somewhere at least mildly tropical. Well, for maybe half the year anyway! ;)


So it sounds like hostas would be a fairly safe choice..I definitely have lots of leaves to bag up that I could use to surround the container if need be.

Here is the spot (red x) that I'd like to do something with....there is a Barberry (?) bush in the front there, and then some kind of small, non descript tree directly behind it. When it leafs out, it basically melds with the Barberry, which I guess it ok...I just thought it could be more interesting. I was thinking the broad leaf of a hosta would contrast with the small Barberry leaves better. If anyone has any better ideas, please let me know.
